Tracking bike-share movement over New Year in Zurich

In Switzerland PubliBike is a popular bike-sharing company. Thanks to its openly accessible API one can extrapolate the movements of these bikes around the cities. As a Christmas project I decided to collect this publicly available data and visualize the movement of bikes in the city of Zurich. Purple tracks are classic bikes, while blue tracks are electric bikes. I am not well versed with front-end development so I hope you will excuse the mediocre interface. Happy to take any questions, comments, feedback and thoughts. A good new year to all of you! GitHub repo:…

In plain words

This project visualizes the movement of PubliBike bikes across Zurich using publicly available API data collected over the New Year period. Purple tracks represent classic bikes while blue tracks show electric bikes in motion throughout the city. Built as a Christmas project, the visualization tool maps bike-share patterns and is available with its source code on GitHub for anyone interested in bike mobility data or urban transportation analysis.

    Bit more than a year ago, we created the project called Budapest Cycle Track. The idea is simple: there are many cyclers in Budapest but where do they ride exactly? Which are the busiest routes? With the iPhone or Android apps cyclers can track their routes and upload them on a common map. The results are beautiful. With UrbanCyclr we'd like to do the same but globally. Full screen map: http://www.urbancyclr.com/static/map.html If you think you can create more beautiful maps than fusion tables don't hesitate to contact me :) For the enthusiasts, here is a video that KIBU made using the data:…
